Oct 17 (Reuters) - Former NBC anchor Brian Williams will host a special one-night show delivering election results and analysis to Amazon.com (AMZN.O) customers on Nov. 5, the company said on Thursday as it looks to capitalize on one of the most anticipated events of the year.

The show will be produced by Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment, who had previously produced Oscar and Golden Globe ceremonies.

"Election Night Live with Brian Williams" will air on election day at 5 pm Eastern Time, Amazon said, and will feature prominent contributors across news and traditional media as guests.

"This non-partisan live special will draw from major news sources and complement the various partner news channels available on Prime Video," said Albert Cheng, head of Prime Video.
